I am jealous. What kind of polearm did Gary draw? A guisarme-voulge? A glaive-guisarme? A bohemian earspoon? A lucern hammer?

I have the original Unearthed Arcana, and Gary's piece in there on polearms was a real eye-opener. Good stuff.kenobi65 said:I am jealous. What kind of polearm did Gary draw? A guisarme-voulge? A glaive-guisarme? A bohemian earspoon? A lucern hammer?![]()

Great art, crazy tables and ideas, lots of little lore gems tossed out here and there.

ghul said:Heh. Bought mine with my paper route money back in 1981 and consider it the finest book in my collection. Just this year I had the pleasure of getting it signed by the following:
* Frank Mentzer (yeah, he didn't work on this volume, but he is a D&D legend)
* Rob Kuntz (another D&D legend)
* Darlene (she even did a sketch in it for me of the Egyptian goddess, Lady Sekhmet!)
* Gary Gygax (he had something to do with the book, and I got him to sketch me a pole-arm inside!)
Needless to say, that DMG (City of Brass, 1979 version) is no longer for game play. I bought on eBay the later version with the cover of the sage in green robes. If you are jealous of my signed DMG, you're old school at heart!
